Laser Hair Removal Do’s and Don’ts
You can affect the results of laser hair removal by what you do prior to and after your appointment. You’ll need to avoid certain medications and habits altogether, and there are some things that will make your recovery easier and quicker. You’ll find everything you need to know before and after your treatment here!
Before Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Prior to laser hair removal, there is a crucial period of time. Certain habits may prevent you from being able to get it done in the first place. For your convenience, we’ve broken down our pre-laser advice into what you should do and avoid in the months, weeks, and days before your first treatment.
In the months leading up to the appointment
Do your research. Look for case studies about laser hair removal from other patients receiving treatment.
There are some things you should avoid 3 to 6 months prior to your LHR appointment to prevent complications or contraindications.
Tanning before laser hair removal appointment, including tanning salons or using self-tanner. While laser can be done on all skin tones, having your skin at its base colour will give you the best results.
Waxing, threading and shaving – you need to refrain from any hair removal methods other than shaving prior to your laser hair removal appointment.
Medication – refrain from taking certain medications for at least 6 weeks, such as isotretinoin (Accutane) and immunosuppressants. Keep all of these in mind prior to booking your appointment since they might force you to delay starting treatment.
